BEETS 
Bastian’s Half-Long 
We have worked for some time to get a first-class 
stock of this variety. The roots are dark red, very smooth and 
uniform in shape, running a trifle longer than most stocks of 
this variety. The quality of this Beet is also very fine, retaining 
its tenderness longer than most varieties. Tops are rather 
heavy, making a fine, robust appearance while growmg. This 
Beet is grown principally in and around Philadelphia County 
for winter or storage purposes.

EARLY WONDER (Tall Top). An early-maturing variety with perfect 
globe-shaped roots and dark flesh. The tops are rather heavy. The finest 
variety for bunching throughout the entire season. This strain is extra 
selected. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 15 cts.; 14lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14. 
EARLY ECLIPSE. A favorite second-early, following Crosby’s Egyptian. 
Globe-shaped root; small tap-root. Good for storing in trenches. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14]b. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $11. 
EARLY LENTZ. One of the very best early Beets we know. Grown and 
selected by a Bucks County market gardener under our direction. He 
has gone to much trouble and expense to grow the finest stock for us; it 
can be relied upon to be absolutely true to type. Color rather light; 
quality excellent; top rather heavy. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 15 cts.; 14lb. 40 cts.; 
Ib. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14. Bastian’s Half-Long Beet 
Crosby’s Egyptian (Special) 
For critical growers, we recommend this 
stock highly. It is extra early, dark red, 
with a medium-sized top, making it a fine 
variety for coldframes and outside use. 
We have not found another Beet that will 
equal this for bunching throughout the 
entire season. The fact that it does not 
crack under trying conditions ts really im- 
portant for bunching purposes. It has a 
fe globe shape.
